<title>Build History SDK Information</title>
<para>
Build history collects similar information on the contents
of SDKs (for example, <filename>meta-toolchain</filename>
or <filename>bitbake -c populate_sdk imagename</filename>)
to that which it collects for images.
The files produced for each SDK are as follows:
<itemizedlist>
<listitem><para><filename>files-in-sdk.txt:</filename>
A list of files in the SDK with permissions,
owner, group, size, and symlink information.
This includes both the host and target parts
of the SDK.
</para></listitem>
<listitem><para><filename>sdk-info.txt:</filename>
A text file containing name-value pairs with information
about the SDK.
See the following listing example for more information.
</para></listitem>
<listitem><para>Under each of the <filename>host</filename> and
<filename>target</filename> directories (for the portions of the
SDK that run on the host and on the target respectively):
<itemizedlist>
<listitem><para><filename>depends.dot:</filename>
Dependency graph for the SDK that is
compatible with <filename>graphviz</filename>.
</para></listitem>
<listitem><para><filename>installed-package-names.txt:</filename>
A list of installed packages by name only.</para></listitem>
<listitem><para><filename>installed-package-sizes.txt:</filename>
A list of installed packages ordered by size.
</para></listitem>
<listitem><para><filename>installed-packages.txt:</filename>
A list of installed packages with full package
filenames.</para></listitem>
</itemizedlist>
</para></listitem>
</itemizedlist>
</para>
<para>
Here is an example of <filename>sdk-info.txt</filename>:
<literallayout class='monospaced'>
DISTRO = poky
DISTRO_VERSION = 1.3+snapshot-20130327
SDK_NAME = poky-eglibc-i686-arm
SDK_VERSION = 1.3+snapshot
SDKMACHINE =
SDKIMAGE_FEATURES = dev-pkgs dbg-pkgs
BAD_RECOMMENDATIONS =
SDKSIZE = 352712
</literallayout>
Other than <filename>SDKSIZE</filename>, which is the
total size of the files in the SDK in Kbytes, the
name-value pairs are variables that may have influenced the
content of the SDK.
This information is often useful when you are trying to determine
why a change in the package or file listings has occurred.
